No your eyes aren’t deceiving you. When I first heard this track, I was not feeling it. But it actually kind of grew me and it’s not so bad. For all you 90’s R&B heads, this one goes out to you. And you. And you. And you.

“I got my own show/ I get to be bossy/ I got a hot wife/ Her name is Portia de de de Rossi.” Last Friday on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, the hip-hop lovin’ talk show host raved on Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3.
